...relative scale of courtesan keepers, Etienne is a kindly boss, although he never lets Coco forget her place. When he attempts to send her away, she refuses. She's tenacious but never tender. Early in the movie, she makes the pronouncement that a "woman in love is like a begging dog" and she sticks to it, until Boy Capel (Alessandro Nivola, giving off the vibe of a young Daniel Day-Lewis) comes along. He introduces her to great books and the notion that she is exceptional. "You're elegant," he says, and with him, for what seems like the first...
...During that long wait, I focused on the woefully underappreciated actor John Carroll Lynch. You might remember him from Fargo, in which he played Marge Gunderson's husband Norm, or Things We Lost in the Fire, in which he gave a compellingly tender and pleasingly peculiar performance as Halle Berry's neighbor. Love Happens is not his best work - that would probably be his chilling performance in Zodiac as the prime suspect Arthur Leigh Allen - but it's still pretty fine. Lynch has been working steadily since 1993, which was right about the time of Eckhart's first screen credit...
...struggle with the White Castle fry-o-lator and get sucked into the trap of selling weight loss supplements - a loose story thread that never gets cleaned up - we're more disposed to thinking there are still hard times ahead.

...wanting for dirt; the salacious tell-all chronicles their trysts in graphic, almost vengeful detail. Ironically, the 60-year-old Weinstein, who calls Madoff a "beast" and a "monster," has done more than anyone else to humanize the inscrutable investment scammer, painting him as an insecure man capable of tender courtship and dashing romance. Weinstein, whose family was forced to sell their home after being wiped out in Madoff's scam, spoke with TIME about the origins of the affair, how her family has reacted to the book and what may have motivated Madoff to put together what's considered...
...scalping is appropriately detailed, and several guns are pointed at the tender areas of adversaries. But this is a 2 1/2-hour war movie without a single scene on the front lines. No long tracking shots of soldiers in foxholes or marching across an open field with a chorus of rifle fire. Fans of the operatic violence in Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill movies eager for a thick new slab of steak Tarantino will be disappointed. There are glimpses of Q.T.'s deft cinematic footwork: a quick flashback to the Basterds' springing of a famous Nazi killer from prison...
